Chapter 408: The War of Races Has No Mercy
After settling the villagers, Arthas began to rush to Steinbrad with the remaining three hundred or so. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Shortly after they left the village, they noticed a lot of human corpses on the side of the road. Arthas dismounted and looked at it, and found that they were all stumps and severed arms. "These people have been dead for a while, and they must have been killed by those orcs on their way to Steinbrad."
At this time, the spies sent out in the morning had returned. The knight was covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had just been killed. "Your Majesty the Prince, the town of Stannbride has been lost, please rescue it quickly!" No sooner had the knight said this than he almost fell from his horse, and it seemed with all his might that he had struck his way out of the enemy's encirclement. Seeing this, Arthas unleashed a holy light spell directly at the knight. A soft light poured into the man's body, and the knight felt that his tired body was full of strength again, and all the wounds on his body had healed.
"For Lordaeron!" The knight gave Arthas a military salute and returned to his ranks.
Arthas said to his men, "We must speed up, and in a moment all the paladins will be at the forefront of me!" "In Arthas's ranks, there are not many paladins, about a dozen. More people who can use the Holy Light but are not up to the standard of a paladin are the prince's escort after all. This is also the reason why Uther only gave Arthas more than 500 people, and these dozens of paladins and Ye Qianbi Liu Meng's special professions have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of this team. Moreover, there are more than 100 cavalry among these hundreds of people, who can be deployed in battles such as assaulting the enemy camp.
Alsace also had his own horses and quickly rushed to Steinbled with a group of men. About an hour ago, they saw a small town covered in war. Everything in this town seems to be burning, and the orcs have not only invaded it, but also captured many humans as their own slaves. In order to force humans out of their homes, they burned down human houses. At Tannbride's doorway, Arthas saw two cauldrons, the stumps inside and the billowing smell of flesh that angered the young paladin. "Kill! Don't take prisoners, rescue the captured humans. Arthas took his Minethir from the hook of the reins of his horse, and then led his cavalry directly into it. Behind were the heavy infantry, as well as Ye Qianbi. Ye Qianbi is a thief, although she usually rides a horse, but at this time, she has already dismounted and sneaked after Alsace to protect him.
"This is the orcs of the Blackstone Clan." Zhang Yuanyuan looked at the red marks on those orcs and judged.
"Blackstone? Aren't they supposed to be in the Blackstone Tower? Ye Qianbi was a little puzzled.
Zhang Yuanyuan shook her head: "The Black Stone Clan is the most powerful in the tribe, so there are many people. Moreover, this part of the Blackstone Clan came after Orgrimmar Doomhammer, so it is not unusual for it to appear here. ”
Arthas didn't have time to hear the origins of these orcs, so he rode directly after an orc who had just finished killing humans and was about to escape, and with a stroke of the hammer, the orc's head was opened. "It's just, don't talk so much nonsense, it's important to get these orcs out of town as soon as possible." Liu Meng, who had just lost a few big fireballs on the side, said to Zhang Yuanyuan and them with some impatience.
The orc infantry still suffered some losses in the face of the attack of the human cavalry. And among these cavalry, the main positions are all paladins. All of a sudden, golden light was everywhere, and hundreds of orcs were directly crushed over. But at this time, on the other side of the town, an orc general riding a black wolf with nearly a hundred wolf knights was gathering. "Crush them! For the Horde! A group of wolf knights had a loud voice, attracting the attention of Arthas.
Arthas rode directly against him, and not only that, but he activated his power of light. A golden light poured into his body, and a golden wing clearly appeared behind Arthas. With the power of Minahir, which also carried golden power, it smashed directly into the orc who led the team on the opposite side. With a bang, the orc was directly smashed by Arthas. He also knocked some orcs around him into the air, and a vacuum of about five or six meters appeared around Arthas.
"So handsome!" Liu Meng whistled, and then she also began to gather strength, and suddenly snowflakes appeared around her. In the place where the group of orcs was most dense, a blizzard fell from the sky like knives, and many orc confidants were frozen in place. An Xin, who was in the back, also took out the ghost willow, directly increased the energy of her hands, and released a requiem. The orcs who had just escaped the blizzard fell into a coma again.
"Well done!" Seeing this, Arthas directly swung his hammer and rushed in. The entire battle lasted less than an hour, and almost a thousand orcs were cleared of Stannbrad's place. Killed almost more than 700 and left more than 300 prisoners. Although Arthas said that he would not leave prisoners, the battle was too chaotic, and he was too tired to fight in the back, so he directly managed it first when he saw the orcs surrender. However, on the side of Steinbled, the town of more than 5,000 people is now less than 2,000 people left. The rest were either captured or killed outright and turned into food for the orcs.
Arthas rested for a moment, then prepared to put the remaining orcs to death. At this time, some knights of the Silver Hand objected, a knight captain, who believed that it was contrary to chivalry to put to death a captive who had lost their combat effectiveness. But Arthas clearly didn't think so: "We don't have chivalry when we execute our captives? So who is responsible for the more than 3,000 dead civilians in this town? We are human beings and do not need to be chivalrous towards animals. "Alsace's words were a bit radical. Of course, this has a direct relationship with the brutality of those orcs in this town, after all, the orcs were attacking innocent people when they came in.
The captain just wanted to explain, but Ye Qianbi, who was sneaking on the side, revealed: "Soldier, what the prince said is right. We are now engaged in a race war, and there is no mercy in the race war. Put away your Madonna mentality, and in future battles you will see the horror of these orcs. If we are defeated, whether it is you or me, or the prince, I am afraid that we will become food for the mouths of these beasts. They don't say anything about chivalry to you, and neither do men and beasts think about chivalry! (To be continued.) )
